'I'm angry. This is not correct': Bafana boss Broos fumes at Blom's MLS club St. Louis

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos is unhappy with St. Louis City SC - the Major League Soccer club Njabulo Blom plays for in the United States.

The national team's mentor expressed his grievances about the manner in which St. Louis handled Blom's call-up to Bafana for the crucial back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Liberia.

Blom left Kaizer Chiefs in December to join legendary Bafana Bafana defender and St. Louis head coach Bradley Carnell in the US.

The 23-year-old has done superbly and caught the attention of Broos.

"Njabulo played the first two games, last game he didn't play," Broos explained on SABC after announcing his 23-man squad for the Afcon qualifiers

"We had immediate contact with St. Louis. They said he is sick. But what is sick? They didn't answer.

"So we had contact with Njabulo, and he said 'yeah. I don't feel so good. I think I have Covid'. I said: 'Ok, but do the test if you think you have Covid'.

"Today is Thursday. I've been speaking [with St. Louis] since Tuesday already.

"Yesterday, we got a note from St. Louis at five o'clock in the afternoon that the coaching staff and the medical staff were discussing the situation of Blom.

"We are now 20 hours later, and we didn't have an answer until now."
